Soundtrack
All lyrics are written by Vayalar Ramavarma except where noted; all music is composed by G. Devarajan All the 10 songs penned by Vayalar were set to tune by Devarajan based on classical ragas. Most of the songs became super hits. The romantic number sung by P. Susheela, ‘Priyatama Priyatama pranayalekhanam...’ based on Bilahari raga; the Desh based ‘Sankhu pushpam kannezhuthumbol...’ and Kharaharapriya based ‘Swarana thamara ithalilurangum...,’ both sung by K. J. Yesudas remain among the best songs of the two singers. The romantic Yesudas-Susheela duet, set in Mohanam, ‘Malini nadiyil kannadi nokkum maane...’ is considered one of the best romantic duets in Malayalam. P. B. Sreenivas imparted a highly emotional touch to the Charukesi-based ‘Vanadevathamare Vida nalkoo...,’ while the dance number ‘Manichilamboli kettunaroo...’ sung by S. Janaki became hits.[5]
